RE: native/wild bees- and other good bugs

Well, I certainly can get half barrels here- wine barrels are abundant.  I
don't however know what types of plants I should be looking for to be
amphibian friendly-  any advise?

Theresa,

I have a couple of half whiskey barrels that just sit on the ground.  They
both get frogs and tadpoles every year, as do all 3 of my in-ground water
features. No snakes in the whiskey barrels, though.

I think the key is having enough vegetation in and around them.
